NORTHWESTERN CROPS.
Magnificent Outlook For Enormou
Harvests OF Leading Cereals.

HarVeStb Oh heduIuS CSVediS.
ST. PAUL, May 11.-Crop reports from
sixty counties in Minnesota, forty in Dakota
and thrty-tive in Iowa, show that seeding
throughout the northwest Is now completed
and under the circumstances more favorable
than in any previous season for years. Fair
weather only is needed to produce another
magnificent crop of wheat, and
if the present indications hold good
barring, of course, all accidents OF weather,
the crops harvested next fall will eclipse
anything ever produced in Minnesota and
Dakota. The acreage in Minnesota last
ment, was 3,061, ,S5l acres, with an average Of
1879 bushels rer acre, making total crop OF
A., ,Sj6, 900 bushels. The increase in the state
this year will probably amount to 5 per cent
or about 175, 600 acres. In Dakota the gov
ernment returns show 2,675, $50 acres, averag-
ing ia bushels per acre, giving an aygre-
gate OF 30, 900 bushels. The increase In
Is per cent, or about 400, 600. Taking into
consideration the more favorable condition
of the ground mt seeding time, and with an
average yield Dakota will probably raise over
So, 100000 bushels this year. SO, with
anything like favorable weather from now
till harvest, the total yield of Minnesota and
Dakota combined will aggregate between
OOOOO 600 and 9O,OOO,OOO bushels. In Iowa
seeding was completed about ten days earlier
than usual, and reports are unanimous as to
the excellent condition Of the ground. Ac-
cOrdng to reports received from the more
important counties there is decrease in
acreage of wheat in many places, owing to
the low prices last year and fear OF chinch
bugs. The acreage OF corn, oats and barley
before, many counties reporting fully so per

Russia and Germany.

BERLIN. May 1.-THE Russian govern
ment has directed that merchants in Posen
having commercial interests beyond the Rus.
sian frontier, must pay the taxes of the Rus
sian merchants guild and obtain licenses
from the Russian minister of trade. The semi
official press in its comments on this and the
new Russian duties on metals, displays
great indignation. The Cologne Gazette
says: ''Ths course constitutes q crushing
blow to German industry, and is also blow
and the policy of the present official leaders
1t shows that Katkoff, not the DeGiers party.
commands the real power. Such measure
can only have the object of affecting the

the well known stoc K broker, testified before
the Pacific railway commission to-day. He

He was present at the meetings of directors
of the Union Pacific and the Kansas Pacific
at the time of consolidation. In the Union
Pacific directors meeting he voted for con-
sOidat0n: did not know what he did in the
Kansas Pacific meeting; voted for cOnsoli-
daton because the Kansas Pacific was COM
peting line, and a union of interests would
prevent ruinOus cutting rates and an increase
of earnings of both corporations lie knew
nothing of the financial condition of the
Kansas Pacific road, but only desired to see
all the roads prosper.

to those who organized 1t. The incident
shows how serious are the difficulties in
O'Bren's path. He was warned at
the outset that the mission which
he chivalrously undertook was fraught
with personal danger, but the brave
Irish heart, that never knew fear, was not to
be daunted. The mere rufliansm of some
of the Umbria saloon passengers may be
succeeded by more serious violence originat-
ing in Canada, but whatever the perils before
him, O'Brien Is not the man to bo turned
aside from his mission of truth and justice"
lMRs. DAvITT's SINGING.
Mrs. Michael Davitt last evening made her

preston. To the accompaniment of a violon-
cello by DR.. Cruece, she sang ave Mara,"
for recall, the national song, "O'Don-
NELL" Also in the second part of the
programme she sang "The Wearing of
the Green" which was vociferously encored.
She followed with "The Star Spangled Ban
ner' feiciously pointing to a section of the
room where green and American flag in
termingled. Cries of "O'Brien," Good
luck to him." ""rhe star spangled banner will
protect" and the like followed with the ap-

several professional musicians assisted and
the receipts were large. The eXtravagant
enthusiastic greeting of Mrs. Davitt's rem
dering of the line, "For Pat to
be imprisoned for the wearing of
the green" was perhaps intensified by the
true story printed in the day paper about
certain magistrates at Castle Island, Kerry,
who, under the operation of an obsolete
statute, fined, with the option of lmprison-
ment, one Murphy, the proprietor of hotel
there, who, at public meeting for honorlng
